Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It's just two coachmen arguing in the field...... Both sides are occupied by vendors, and the road, which is not wide, becomes even narrower.
Two carriages blocked in the middle of the road, and began to quarrel and curse above, each setting up its own backstage.
Looking at this situation, it is difficult to end it for a while.
Chang Jin struggled to pull Wang Qinian and the two out of the crowd, and said to them, "It's the two coachmen who quarrel again, there's nothing to see, let's go to the front."
This kind of congested scene is not easy to use even if you have supernatural powers. Under his leadership, it took a lot of effort for the three of them to get out of that road.
Walking further, the road is wider, and the flow of people is not as crowded as before.
This area is mainly a place for acrobats, with gongs and drums and all kinds of applause.
Wang Qinian quickly pulled Chang Jin into a lively place again, and this time they were lucky enough to stand in the middle.
I saw an old Taoist priest in the field is saluting the crowd with his fists, saying the opening words in his mouth, the words are nothing more than where they come from.
Behind him was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Taoist boy with a gong in his hand and a bamboo basket at his feet.
In recent years, even Taoist priests have started to perform arts, and they are still on the territory of Yuqing Dao. Chang Jin was a little puzzled at first, but when he saw the cultivation of the old Taoist priest clearly, he was a little clear, and it turned out to be a loose cultivation.
The other party said a lot of long-winded words, and some people were already impatient, and shouted loudly: "I said long, don't just say that you don't practice, what tricks do you have to use quickly, if the performance is good, the master will definitely give money." ”
The man who opened his mouth was about the same age as Chang Jin, wearing a silk robe, and was obviously a rich kid.
"Thank you for this son's support, I don't know what you want to see?" Although the other party was disrespectful, the old Taoist priest was not angry, but asked with a smile.
"What are you going to do, tell me about it?"
"Poor Dao is good at turning creatures upside down, can you see it? ”
"What is an upside-down creature?" asked the son of a wealthy family again.
"Eating watermelon in March in spring, snow in summer, and peach blossoms in autumn and winter are the ...... of upside-down creatures."
"Blow it"
"......"
Before the old Taoist priest finished speaking, the crowd of onlookers was noisy, and nine out of ten did not believe it.
If you use the aura to urge, what this Taoist priest said may come true. It's just that Chang Jin has checked the luck on the top of the other party's head, two points red and one point white, obviously just arrived at the second turn of the human immortal, how can he excite the aura.
"Since you don't believe it, then the poor road will first eat watermelon in March. ”
After speaking, the old Taoist priest instructed the apprentice to take out a clay pot from the bamboo basket, and half a jar of soil was placed in it. When the preparations were ready, he took out another melon seed from the bamboo basket and solemnly put it into the soil.
"Ladies and gentlemen, take a closer look...... "The old Taoist priest shouted, and then sprayed water into the dirt, several times in succession.
In front of everyone's eyes, a delicate and green melon seedling broke out of the soil from the clay pot, and it grew to more than three feet long in an instant.
"It's really a melon ......"
"Look, it's blooming...... It's really blooming......"
For a while, the crowd was amazed.
Even Chang Jin's eyes widened, looking at the field in disbelief.
He is several realms higher than this old Taoist, and if the other party wants to cast a trick in front of him, it is impossible for him to escape the detection of his divine sense. What made him feel even more incredible was that during the whole process, the old Taoist priest did not excite the aura.
Could it be the water?
Chang Jin's divine sense probed again, and the water was just ordinary well water, and there was nothing special about it.
After thinking about it, the watermelon flower had already bloomed and failed, producing a watermelon the size of a copper coin, and after a stick of incense, the watermelon rose to the size of a fist.
When the Taoist priest picked off the watermelon and shaved it, the melon inside was bright red, which was very appealing.
"Okay, the Taoist priest really has great magical powers......
For a while, there was a lot of applause, and many people took out copper coins and smashed silver and threw them into the field, even Chang Jin was no exception.
The Taoist boy hurriedly picked up the gong to pick up the money, and the old Taoist priest smiled and hugged his fists and thanked him.
In the Wushan Temple, the two brothers sat on the futon, staring at the water mirror in front of them.
Soon, Xuantan let out a cold snort: "Using such contemptuous techniques to fool ordinary people is simply a shame on our cultivators. Senior brother Che wait a moment again, I'll go and meet this person. ”
"Senior brother and sister, this person is just asking for some money and incense, why bother. Now that the humanitarian catastrophe is coming, such an act will only attract murder, and then it can be seen to destroy itself, so why bother us to do it. Xuan Ming stroked his beard and said with a light and breezy attitude.
"I also understand what Senior Brother said, it's just that these beam-jumping clowns have become more and more rampant recently, and they don't take our Yuqing Dao in their eyes at all, and even Governor Liu has secretly gathered a few loose cultivators, don't you really need to clean it up?"
"Let them go, wealth is not so easy to get" The two of them talked about the same topic many times, Xuan Ming didn't want to say more, but looked at the performance in the water mirror with interest, "I listened to my junior brother's words before, and I seem to know the origin of this watermelon?"
"Well, I was admitted to the door by the master before the artist performed, this method seems mysterious, and it is worthless. Drill the chicken eggs, remove the egg white and store the yellow, and then mix the official pillar licorice with two coins each, and then put it into the eggshell together with the melon seeds to seal it, usually buried in the damp wall, do not let it dry, take out the melon seeds when you are ready to use, and spray water several times to ......"
"There are strange people in the folk" Xuan Ming listened to it, but praised it. Then with a wave of the robe, the water mirror in front of him disappeared immediately.
"Dao Chief, I've seen watermelon eat in March in Yangchun, and now you want to eat peaches, can you turn me into a peach? At this time, the boy who had spoken earlier shouted again.
Lao Dao's face was embarrassed when he heard this, and he arched his hand and said: "This son is embarrassed by the poor road, and now the peach blossoms are beginning to bloom, so where to pick peaches from the poor road, but if you don't take the peaches, I'm afraid you will feel that the poor road spell is not fine, and it is really embarrassing......"
The boy next to him: "Master, since you promised others, how can you regret it?"
The Taoist priest frowned, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "What the disciple said is extremely true, at this time, the snow is covered in cold spring, if you want to pick peaches, I am afraid that there is nowhere to be found in the world, only above the nine heavens, there may be in the immortal peach garden of Daozun." It's just that the fairy peach is precious, and mortals can prolong their lives and eliminate all kinds of diseases when they eat it. I'm afraid that Daozun will not give it away, so for today's plan, I can only go to the fairy peach garden to steal one. ”
The Dao Tong opened his eyes wide again and spoke: "Master is really good at laughing, Dao Zun lives above the Nine Heavens, and there is no road to connect him, how can he reach it?"
The Taoist priest said confidently: "The apprentice doesn't need to worry, he has his own way for the teacher." ”
After speaking, I saw him pull out a hemp rope from the bamboo basket next to him, the hemp rope was as thick as an index finger, about ten zhang or more, and it looked inconspicuous.
The Taoist priest took it in his hand, chanted words on his mouth, and then took out a yellow paper talisman and stuck it on the rope.
This Taoist priest has two brushes...... The people around him didn't feel it, but Chang Jin could feel that with the incantation, the thin aura around him was condensed. This made him even more confused, it is said that the other party has this magical power, and he shouldn't be in such a situation, how could he run to the street to perform.
Entering the WTO and Cultivating or ......
While thinking about it, the Taoist priest changed again. He stretched out his hand and threw the rope into the air, and the upper end of the rope seemed to be specially pulled, and it was good in the wind, and it quickly climbed upward, getting higher and higher, and gradually disappeared into the clouds, hovering in mid-air, and the end of the rope could not be seen at all.
This hand, everyone was shocked. Especially Wang Qinian, his eyes were even more round.
In the astonishment of the onlookers, the Taoist priest ordered the Taoist boy beside him: "Disciple, come here." It is not easy to climb above the nine heavens, because the teacher is old and weak, and I am afraid that he will not be able to go up. This task of stealing peaches is still up to you. You just need to climb all the way along this rope to reach the fairy peach orchard. ”
Hearing this, the Dao Tong shook his head again and again, "Master, I don't dare, this rope is too thin, how can it climb above the Nine Heavens." In case the apprentice climbs into the air and the rope suddenly breaks, the apprentice will not fall to pieces. Don't do it, say nothing and don't do it......"
The master and apprentice sang and harmonized, making the whole process of stealing peaches twists and turns, and the people around them were completely attracted, and there was no noise at all.
Taoist priest Zhengse said: "Disciple, you also said just now that you should be loyal to people's voices, how can you give up halfway now." You hurry up, if you succeed in stealing peaches, I believe that all the officials will be rewarded, and then with this money, you can build a Taoist academy as a teacher, and you and I don't have to run around in the wind and rain anymore. ”
"Okay" Dao Tong nodded, grabbed the rope and climbed quickly, moving his hands and feet, like a dragonfly touching water, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
As Dao Tong jumped up and down, everyone's heads were also raised high, and their eyes looked at the clouds without blinking.
Obviously, in such a field, most of them already believe that Taoist priests have supernatural powers.
Chang Jin didn't see the fame of the previous trick of changing melons, but he understood the process of stealing peaches. Once you know the mystery of something, it will be boring to look at the process again. How can he be so powerful, at this time, he had more questions in his heart, and he looked at it patiently.
